Documentation

Overview

Package jws implements the digital signature on JSON based data structures as described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515

If you do not care about the details, the only things that you would need to use are the following functions: 

jws.Sign(payload, algorithm, key)
jws.Verify(encodedjws, algorithm, key)

To sign, simply use `jws.Sign`. `payload` is a []byte buffer that contains whatever data you want to sign. `alg` is one of the jwa.SignatureAlgorithm constants from package jwa. For RSA and ECDSA family of algorithms, you will need to prepare a private key. For HMAC family, you just need a []byte value. The `jws.Sign` function will return the encoded JWS message on success.

To verify, use `jws.Verify`. It will parse the `encodedjws` buffer and verify the result using `algorithm` and `key`. Upon successful verification, the original payload is returned, so you can work on it.

Functions

func RegisterCustomField added in v1.1.2 

func RegisterCustomField(name string, object interface{})

RegisterCustomField allows users to specify that a private field be decoded as an instance of the specified type. This option has a global effect.

For example, suppose you have a custom field `x-birthday`, which you want to represent as a string formatted in RFC3339 in JSON, but want it back as `time.Time`.

In that case you would register a custom field as follows 

jwe.RegisterCustomField(`x-birthday`, timeT)

Then `hdr.Get("x-birthday")` will still return an `interface{}`, but you can convert its type to `time.Time` 

bdayif, _ := hdr.Get(`x-birthday`)
bday := bdayif.(time.Time)

func RegisterSigner added in v1.1.0 

func RegisterSigner(alg jwa.SignatureAlgorithm, f SignerFactory)

RegisterSigner is used to register a factory object that creates Signer objects based on the given algorithm.

For example, if you would like to provide a custom signer for jwa.EdDSA, use this function to register a `SignerFactory` (probably in your `init()`)

func RegisterVerifier added in v1.1.0 

func RegisterVerifier(alg jwa.SignatureAlgorithm, f VerifierFactory)

RegisterVerifier is used to register a factory object that creates Verifier objects based on the given algorithm.

For example, if you would like to provide a custom verifier for jwa.EdDSA, use this function to register a `VerifierFactory` (probably in your `init()`)

func Sign 

func Sign(payload []byte, alg jwa.SignatureAlgorithm, key interface{}, options ...Option) ([]byte, error)

Sign generates a signature for the given payload, and serializes it in compact serialization format. In this format you may NOT use multiple signers.

It accepts either a raw key (e.g. rsa.PrivateKey, ecdsa.PrivateKey, etc) or a jwk.Key, and the name of the algorithm that should be used to sign the token.

If the key is a jwk.Key and the key contains a key ID (`kid` field), then it is added to the protected header generated by the signature

The algorithm specified in the `alg` parameter must be able to support the type of key you provided, otherwise an error is returned.

If you would like to pass custom headers, use the WithHeaders option.

func SignMulti 

func SignMulti(payload []byte, options ...Option) ([]byte, error)

SignMulti accepts multiple signers via the options parameter, and creates a JWS in JSON serialization format that contains signatures from applying aforementioned signers.

Use `jws.WithSigner(...)` to specify values how to generate each signature in the `"signatures": [ ... ]` field.

func SplitCompact 

func SplitCompact(src []byte) ([]byte, []byte, []byte, error)

SplitCompact splits a JWT and returns its three parts separately: protected headers, payload and signature.

func SplitCompactReader added in v1.1.0 

func SplitCompactReader(rdr io.Reader) ([]byte, []byte, []byte, error)

SplitCompactReader splits a JWT and returns its three parts separately: protected headers, payload and signature.

func SplitCompactString added in v1.1.0 

func SplitCompactString(src string) ([]byte, []byte, []byte, error)

SplitCompactString splits a JWT and returns its three parts separately: protected headers, payload and signature.

func Verify 

func Verify(buf []byte, alg jwa.SignatureAlgorithm, key interface{}) ([]byte, error)

Verify checks if the given JWS message is verifiable using `alg` and `key`. `key` may be a "raw" key (e.g. rsa.PublicKey) or a jwk.Key

If the verification is successful, `err` is nil, and the content of the payload that was signed is returned. If you need more fine-grained control of the verification process, manually generate a `Verifier` in `verify` subpackage, and call `Verify` method on it. If you need to access signatures and JOSE headers in a JWS message, use `Parse` function to get `Message` object.

func VerifySet added in v1.1.0 

func VerifySet(buf []byte, set jwk.Set) ([]byte, error)

VerifySet uses keys store in a jwk.Set to verify the payload in `buf`.

In order for `VerifySet()` to use a key in the given set, the `jwk.Key` object must have a valid "alg" field, and it also must have either an empty value or the value "sig" in the "use" field.

Furthermore if the JWS signature asks for a spefici "kid", the `jwk.Key` must have the same "kid" as the signature.

type Iterator added in v1.0.0

type Message 

type Message struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Message represents a full JWS encoded message. Flattened serialization is not supported as a struct, but rather it's represented as a Message struct with only one `signature` element.

Do not expect to use the Message object to verify or construct a signed payload with. You should only use this when you want to actually programmatically view the contents of the full JWS payload.

As of this version, there is one big incompatibility when using Message objects to convert between compact and JSON representations. The protected header is sometimes encoded differently from the original message and the JSON serialization that we use in Go.

For example, the protected header `eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLA0KICJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9` decodes to 

{"typ":"JWT",
  "alg":"HS256"}

However, when we parse this into a message, we create a jws.Header object, which, when we marshal into a JSON object again, becomes 

{"typ":"JWT","alg":"HS256"}

Notice that serialization lacks a line break and a space between `"JWT",` and `"alg"`. This causes a problem when verifying the signatures AFTER a compact JWS message has been unmarshaled into a jws.Message.

jws.Verify() doesn't go through this step, and therefore this does not manifest itself. However, you may see this discrepancy when you manually go through these conversions, and/or use the `jwx` tool like so: 

jwx jws parse message.jws | jwx jws verify --key somekey.jwk --stdin

In this scenario, the first `jwx jws parse` outputs a parsed jws.Message which is marshaled into JSON. At this point the message's protected headers and the signatures don't match.

To sign and verify, use the appropriate `Sign()` and `Verify()` functions.
